Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

Seeing all this, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but glance at it, but she still felt the same way as before.

I wasn't afraid, but I felt a little regretful and somewhat apprehensive.

After all, such a large number of vehicles, though intimidating to outsiders, included ministerial-level vehicles and many of the personnel from Beijing-based ministries.

However, in Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, he was still no match for her father, and there was nothing she needed to be afraid of.

However, there are far too many such people. If so many people were to unite, or even just give a slight demonstration, it would be enough to scare many people to death.

Even Zhong Xiaoai's father was helpless in the face of so many people.

Her expression turned serious, but thankfully she wasn't afraid.

We drove along a highway, heading straight up the hillside. Once there, security was everywhere.

He looked much like the previous people: large bones, rugged eyebrows and eyes, broad shoulders, and piercing eyes that exuded a strong sense of intimidation.

Moreover, they passed through more than one checkpoint, and each time they had to provide proof of their identity before they could enter.

On the distant hillside, they could even see some shadowy movements, and it seemed that there were quite a few people on guard there.

That means those people were openly lurking in the mountains and forests; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to find them.

We followed them all the way until we reached a gate, where there were already quite a few domestically produced Hongqi cars.

The license plate wasn't anything special, but there aren't many cars like this, so seeing one here was truly eye-opening.

Many of them even looked like old antiques. Zhong Xiaoai only recognized the appearance and the logo, but had never seen a car like this before.

Whether on the road, at home, or in all her memories.

These vehicles were specially produced by Chang Hu to commemorate those who had contributed to the country.

There are only a little over a hundred of them in total; it would be a miracle if she had ever heard of or seen them.

Those who own such vehicles are either people with distinguished military achievements or people who have made outstanding contributions to the country.

Just like those scientists who are hailed as the backbone of their country, only they are qualified to own one.

Upon reaching the entrance, all vehicles had stopped and were no longer permitted to proceed; only pedestrians or vehicles belonging to the estate were allowed.

Chang Junhao, Li Weijun, and the others all came down.

"Are we getting off here too?" someone asked in Zhong Xiaoai's car.

Even the most rigorously trained soldiers couldn't help but chuckle at these words.

So you guys are here too? Do you think you're funny? Or do you think you're really that great?

"Please get off the vehicle!" the soldier said, opening the door.

"Okay!" When they arrived, Zhong Xiaoai opened the car door and got out.

Once she got here, she knew it was no longer up to her; she just had to follow orders.

If you really offend someone here, they really have the right to shoot.

Even if she were actually killed, the person who fired the shot might be investigated, but she would truly be dead.

Moreover, the person who fired the shot might not face any problems.

Whether you are Secretary Zhong's daughter or not, it's all the same.

After getting off the bus, Zhong Xiaoai followed the others inside. She then saw Chang Junhao appear in front of her.

And it seemed they were waiting for them. Zhong Xiaoai stepped forward to greet Chang Junhao.

"Secretary Chang, we..."

"Please wait a moment!" But they were unexpectedly stopped.

"Please proceed with security check!"

“Okay!” Zhong Xiaoai said calmly.

Chang Junhao simply waited there for them, his expression neither sad nor happy.

After Zhong Xiaoai finished her examination, when she walked towards Chang Junhao again, she was stopped once more.

"Please show your identification and invitation letter!"

"Huh?" Zhong Xiaoai was stunned. Identification? That's understandable.

The invitation letter...

"Let her in!" Chang Junhao said calmly.

"This is Secretary Zhong's daughter!"

The security guards at the gate didn't recognize Chang Junhao, but Chang An had already arranged for someone to come over.

Moreover, among the entourage were some of the old man's people, who came on his behalf.

The primary function and task of these guards is to protect the old man.

Therefore, Chang Junhao's words, to some extent, also represent the old man's views.

"Secretary Zhong? This..." Now, even they themselves were puzzled.

They all knew who Secretary Zhong was referring to, since aside from the elders, he was practically next in line.

How could they not know him? Some of them were even right next to Secretary Zhong while on missions.

But at this time, even Secretary Zhong himself didn't come; only the elders did.

The rest of the people will not come here to participate; they will only go to pay their respects when they return to the capital.

Secretary Zhong was one of them, but now, Secretary Zhong himself isn't coming, but his daughter is?

However, Chang Junhao spoke up himself, and since they now knew his identity, they let him pass directly.

"Yes!"

Now, Zhong Xiaoai herself was even more frightened. Even if her father were here and gave these people orders, they wouldn't listen.

But now, the other party has agreed to what Chang Junhao said?

What is this concept?

It wasn't because Chang Junhao's rank was higher than her father's; it was because of Chang Junhao's status, connections, and network.

These are probably far beyond Zhong Xiaoai's imagination.

"This is..." Zhong Xiaoai was dumbfounded.

"Secretary Chang, I..."

"Sir, what about these people..." the security officer asked, looking at the people following Zhong Xiaoai.

"Let them wait!" Chang Junhao glanced at it, then walked straight inside.

Li Weijun and Wei Zhijun followed Chang Junhao like two loyal followers, along with the three people who had come to pick him up earlier.

Zhong Xiaoai was still standing there, somewhat stunned, when unexpectedly, Li Weijun turned around and glanced at her.

"What are you standing there for? Follow me!"

"Ah? Yes!" Zhong Xiaoai belatedly realized and jogged up behind them, following them as they headed inside.

Soon after, I got into a car next to me and went inside, where there was still a lot of security.

On the way, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but speak up again.

"Secretary Chang, I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Chang Junhao turned his head and glanced at him, speaking coldly.

"You've already agreed to come with me, so now just watch quietly and don't say a word!"

"Secretary Chang, I was wrong, I was mistaken. I shouldn't have been so petty as to think that Secretary Chang looked down on me!"

"That was my mistake. I shouldn't have looked down on you!" Chang Junhao said calmly.

“Secretary Chang, that’s not what I meant, I just…” Zhong Xiaoai wanted to say something more, but seeing that Chang Junhao had closed his eyes, she could only shut up.

They set off and arrived outside a large hall, where people opened the car doors for them.

Chang Junhao went straight downstairs. There were people waiting there, including Grandpa Zhao's children and grandchildren.

When Chang Junhao arrived, he had already been introduced to the area, so there was no awkward situation where they didn't recognize each other.

"Secretary Chang, General Wei, General Li!" Zhao Wenhan led a group of young people to greet the guests.

"Please accept my condolences!" Chang Junhao walked up, shook hands, and said.

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao Wenhan said hurriedly, his eyes also starting to redden.

Chang Junhao sighed and, led by the others, walked inside.

At the host's call, he bowed three times, walked around the body, and shook hands with Grandpa Zhao's remaining children and grandchildren.

They were then led by someone to a small hall next door.

The group of bigwigs were already there, and thanks to Chang Junhao's leadership, they entered without any obstacles, as usual.

But it was only Chang Junhao, Li Weijun, Wei Zhijun, and Zhong Xiaoai...
